The Bhekisisa team has been recognised for a number of stories
this year. Malan won the features category in the Sikuvile print journalism
awards earlier this month for "The boys who lost their manhood" and
"If they are raped, so what?".

Bhekisisa was established in January 2013. In addition to
providing the M&G with health copy, it also hosts
journalists from other media houses with three-month fellowships, during which
they receive intensive mentoring in health reporting. In addition to this,
Bhekisisa runs critical thinking forums and trainings on health issues.
